Gary Allan- “Today”

Gary Allan is back at radio with a new single called “Today.” The song tells the story of a guy who is watching his ex move on with her life with another man. He knows he should be happy for her, but he’s not. I think we’ve all been there…that moment when you try to be the better person, but it just doesn’t work out.

We really like this side of Gary and if this song is any indication of what his upcoming album will be like, we have a feeling we’re going to like it.

If you haven’t heard the new single yet, click HERE to check it out. Be sure to come back & let us know what you think!

PS: We hear it’s going to be available on iTunes Tuesday, July 7th!

Larry The Cable Guy - “Tailgate Party”

Country comedian Larry The Cable Guy will tape Tailgate Party, a Fourth of July special that will be recorded at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, NE this weekend.  His first special to celebrate this patriotic holiday, the digital release will be available on Saturday, July 4, at live.larrythecableguy.com for only $10.

Perhaps not the most typical way to fill a football stadium, Larry reflects on the career highlight saying “I’d much rather be playing linebacker but since I’m a chubby middle aged man that runs the 40 in 37 seconds and pull a muscle every time I put on my socks, I’ll have to stick to telling jokes on the field. I’m very honored that the university has given me permission to tape my Comedy Central special there and also excited to give my fans a show for 4 bucks. I love my home state and am very grateful for the opportunity to perform for them on this special night. Thanks to my fans for making this a possibility. Go Huskers!”

The special will air on Comedy Central in September and will be available on DVD in January.

Be Jake Owen’s Tour Manager For A Day!

Live At LongHorn is giving fans the chance to be Jake Owen’s tour manager for a day!

2 winners and 2 guests get to fly to Nashville then hop on a tour bus and travel with Jake to a show. They get to spend the day behind the scenes then attend the concert that night.

Jake recently spoke with CMT blogger Alison Bonaguro about the unique contest…

“We wanted to give something away to the people who’ve been following us. It’s cool for them, but it’s cool for us, too. People don’t realize what goes on in this life on the road. Like how we stopped at a truck stop in the middle of the night last night and I bought a Triski [scooter].”

You can enter the contest HERE.
